• The Samsung Galaxy A16 5G will apparently come with six years of OS updates and security patches.
• This is a significant improvement over Samsung’s previous policy of four major OS updates and five years of security patches for cheap phones.

Samsung and Google offer the best update policies in the smartphone industry, as their top-tier phones get seven years of Android OS updates and security patches. Now, it looks like Samsung could up the ante with its budget phones too.
